Chapter 44 Falling into the Abyss
Ye Sheng gripped the Russian-made SPP underwater assault pistol and cautiously approached the cabin, his steps slow. Shudeya followed behind Ye Sheng, a dagger in his hand, looking tense.
Just now, Cheng Sui pointed in a direction and then disappeared. They walked in the direction Cheng Sui pointed for nearly half an hour before they saw this small house.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaqi were placed on the left and right sides of the wooden door of the small house, respectively. Ye Sheng made a gesture, nodded to Jiu Deyaqi, and raised three fingers.
Three, two, one!
The moment Ye Sheng clenched his fist, Jiu Deyaji activated his attack, smashing open the wooden door with his arm.
Ye Sheng rushed into the room right after him, locking onto his target the moment he entered, his finger on the trigger ready to fire.
"Ye Sheng, wait a minute!" Shudeya called out to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng also realized what was happening and slowly lowered his hand that was holding the gun.
In the sunlight, a pale-faced boy sat leaning against the edge of the bed, an IV drip still attached to his slender wrist. He tilted his head and looked at Aki and the others, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"Who are you? Where is Dad?" the boy asked in English, his voice thin and plain.
Aki discreetly slung the dagger behind her back, revealing a friendly smile like that of a kind older sister next door: "We are your father's colleagues. Your father had to leave early, so we are here to take care of you."
Aki Shuto felt a little embarrassed, as if she were one of those yakuza bosses in Japanese dramas who break into people's homes.
The boy's gaze lingered between the broken wooden door and Aki's friendly smile, as if trying to determine which was more believable.
"How come there's a five or six-year-old boy here? Didn't Ahmed say his son wasn't mixed race?" Ye Sheng said in a low voice in Chinese.
Aki's smile remained unchanged as she forced out a voice: "Don't speak yet."
The boy's gaze finally settled on Aki's face. He chose to believe that kind smile, which gave him a warmth he had never felt before.
From a young age, his father locked him in the house, preventing him from contacting anything outside. He could not contact anyone except his father, nor could he experience what maternal love was.
However, yesterday my father said that I will be able to go to school soon. The medicine I injected can stabilize my bloodline. That day, my father hugged me, and his tears soaked his clothes. He said things like not to worry about his son being taken away.
He didn't know what his father was talking about, but he heard that going to school would allow him to be with many peers, which sounded pretty good.
The boy took out a wooden chessboard from under the bed. It was a Senet chessboard that his father had made for him, and it was one of his few forms of entertainment.
"Okay, I'll play with you." Shudeya sat down next to the boy, holding the flag made of painted pottery. "What's your name?"
"Osiris, Father said, is the god of death and rebirth in ancient Egyptian mythology," the boy replied, as he began explaining the rules of Senite chess to Jiudeya.
This is actually a somewhat complex version of Ludo. Reaching different squares will have special effects. For example, the Anubis Scales on the first square will swap the positions of any two pieces, and the Set Storm on the fifth square will sink the opponent's pieces into the River Styx, with the effect of stopping the game for two rounds.
The final winning condition is that all pieces successfully cross the river.
Shudeya clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Alright, I fully understand the rules now, let's begin."
Osiris looked at Ye Sheng, who was leaning against the table, and asked in confusion, "Isn't big brother coming?"
"Oh dear, he's an idiot, he can't understand the rules so quickly. Let's just play together." Shudeyaki arranged the chess pieces and said to Osiris with a smile.
Osiris nodded without speaking, then rolled the dice on the board to begin the game.
Ye Sheng picked up the photo album on the table and started flipping through it.
The first page of the album is a photo of Ahmed and a girl taken on the banks of the Nile. The girl is holding a red star flower, her flowing hair shining in the sunset, and her face beaming with a happy smile. Ahmed at that time still had a flamboyant little braid and was as handsome as a Hollywood movie star.
It seems this girl is Ahmed's wife.
Ye Sheng continued flipping through the album, and the next few pages were full of photos of Ahmed and his wife, celebrating birthdays together, rowing on the Nile, decorating their new home, and finally, a photo of the woman embracing her pregnant belly with her arms around it, a maternal smile on her face, while Ahmed gently kisses the unborn baby through the belly, his eyes full of happiness.
But after this page, several pages were torn out of the album, and the last photo in the album was of the boy in front of us with an IV drip.
Ye Sheng felt something was strange. Why were several pages in the middle of the photo album torn out? What was Ahmed trying to hide?
Ye Sheng noticed the IV bag in the trash can and picked it up to examine it.
"Hai~ This is a Seth Storm, right? You won't be able to move for two rounds." Aki said with a smile.
Osiris didn't speak; his bangs obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Eh? Are you unhappy?" Shudeaki approached Osiris. "It's okay, it's okay, it's alright to move, let's continue playing."
"Aki, watch out!"
Ye Sheng rushed forward and shoved Aki aside.
As Aki looked on in horror, a pair of bone wings burst forth from Osiris's back, blood still clinging to the bones. Osiris looked up; his left pupil had turned into a vertical iris, while his right eye remained human, filled with struggle and despair.
He felt an irresistible force surging within him, constantly eroding his mind, gradually eroding his rationality, and allowing impulse and bloodlust to take over.
"Help me...help me...hoo!!"
A roar like that of a ferocious beast roared from Osiris's throat. Osiris's round pupils, which represented humanity, were now completely transformed into vertical pupils. Black fleshy membranes grew between his bone wings, and his legs made a tooth-grinding sound of bones breaking, with his knees bending back in an eerie way.
Influenced by the drug, he has now uncontrollably and completely degenerated into a Deadpool!
Sharp claws slashed across Ye Sheng's back, tearing open a bloody gash. Not only that, but the wound also made a sizzling, corrosive sound.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya climbed out of the window, followed closely by Deadpool. His dragon-like body smashed through the wall, and his bent legs provided him with incredible speed, instantly rushing to Ye Sheng's side.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ye Sheng fired three shots at Deadpool's eyes, but the SPP's power was still too weak. Deadpool blocked the bullets with his claws, leaving only three bloody holes in his hands, without even piercing through his palm.
Deadpool punched the ground beside Ye Sheng, creating a fist-sized crater in the rocky ground.
"Run, Aki!" Ye Sheng shouted as he quickly got up, while continuing to fire to distract Deadpool.
Aki nodded and decisively chose to run in the opposite direction from Ye Sheng. Now was not the time to be sentimental. After creating a safe distance, she could think of other ways to support Ye Sheng.
Deadpool let Ye Sheng's bullets hit him, but his vertical pupils never left Aki.
"Roar!!" Deadpool roared, crawling towards Aki on his belly!
